   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 6P connector: disconnected
   	PCM connector E (80P): disconnected
   Test point 1	PCM connector E (80P) No. 48
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   Repair a short in the IP wire between the PCM (E48) and the A/F sensor (Sensor 1).
